During our football game last Friday there were multiple sections of the bleachers in the student section that were damaged. To ensure student safety those damaged areas of the student section were removed. No fans at any stadium event may stand on the benches. Damages such as this only cause LHS to use athletic funds to repair the facility rather than directly support our athletes and our programs.
